Recently Earth Day was celebrated by many. While it is important to pay homage to where we live annually, it is truly important to honor it each day. I think that for many this also permeates into questions about a responsible diet. We have discussed the ethical side of consuming meat in another blog post. We also tackled all those confusing beef labels in an earlier post…
Even though it’s beginning to warm up in Las Cruces, we have still had a few cold, cloudy and polar-vortex wind whipped days this spring. This is nothing compared to the snow that parts of the northern tips of the country have experienced – over spring break no less. This 3 Step Chicken Rice Casserole Recipe is a perfect fix! There were many a days as…
It seems like only moments ago we were decking our halls with garlands and wreaths and preparing for Christmas dinner. Dainty paper mache Easter eggs, miniature seasonal chocolates and pots of sprouted bulbs now seem to dot most supermarkets. And have you been to Hobby Lobby? They’ve practically been a rabbit themed park in full bloom since valentine’s day ended. Whether you’re excited about Spring because…
I don’t think that anyone can truly not love quiche, except for maybe my husband. I’m in with love quiche for three reasons. The first being that you can make it on a Sunday and have a delicious breakfast taken care of all week. The second that while you can eat it any time of day. Want to start your morning off right? How about a…
We’ve all been there. It can be difficult to have new ideas to celebrate Valentine’s Day each year. Not to mention, expensive. While my husband and I do celebrate the day (usually the day before or after due to travel, work, etc), we definitely don’t treat it like Christmas or a birthday. Because really, showing each other love in little ways each day is the perfect…
I don’t think it’s any secret that I like to budget. For most people who may still be recovering from Christmas, valentine’s day may seem daunting. Prices tend to skyrocket around the heavily commercialized holiday. I’m not a holiday hater either – I’m just telling the truth. Ask any florist, due to demand, there will be a much higher markup on roses around this time. It’s…
It’s been awhile since I changed the name of my blog. While for me this was necessary and important – it’s also a lot of work. Much like naming any business, if you have to change it down the road it is cumbersome. If you’ve been pondering creating a blog for a little while and have decided your fears are just myths this post sharing four easy…
My parents have always seemed to be entertaining ever since I was small. They were blessed to find and keep some incredible family friends over the years. If we were having a big get together (most likely) dad would make his famous rolled tacos recipe. It was something that dad threw together in college with his best friend, roommate (and eventually the officiant at my wedding)…
The super bowl is here again. Just like that. While I’m not a football fanatic, I’m absolutely here for the food. We will of course be enjoying pulled pork and my mom’s famous chocolate cake the day of. But what about appetizers? These are some of our favorite no cook super bowl appetizer recipes!
I saw a Facebook post recently encouraging friends to post a photo in the comments in which they were truly happy. Happiness is found in different ways for different individuals, but part of being truly, consistently happy is practicing self care. For years I underestimated the importance of it. But if you want to be a successful wife, husband, student, small business owner, daughter etc., you…
